Fly in Power – Narrm Premiere

Join Vixen and Red Canary Song for the Narrm premiere of the award-winning documentary Fly in Power.

Fly in Power follows Charlotte, a Korean massage worker and core organizer of Red Canary Song (RCS): a social justice collective of Asian diasporic massage workers, sex workers and allies who basebuild through mutual aid. Through her story, we learn how the incarceration system is pitted against Asian migrant women and their survival. Other RCS members, including Khokhoi, a young body worker, and Prof Elena Shih, Brown University, share powerful insights that debunk the myths of sex trafficking. Fly in Power is a glimpse into the intimate spaces that not only connect these workers, but is also a testament to the global advocacy of women's rights to work and thrive. This is the first film to center the narrative of an Asian massage worker in her own words, with her own agency of storytelling and editing. The intention of Fly in Power is to honor their practices of care, autonomy, and survival and to raise awareness of the oppressive systems that face us all.

This film has been produced entirely by women, non-binary, trans and queers of the Asian diaspora – more than half of the production team are former or current sex workers.The production of this film has been generously supported by donations from our community and grants from Asian Women’s Giving Circle and NYWIFT.
